"Our mission is to overcome, through science and technology, the strongest kind of fear; fear of the unknown"

Fears, however, were not diminished when in 2028 a study was commissioned, led by R’lyeh Intitute from their HQ in Switzerland. The precise nature, size and aims of this study remain unknown, as does the identity of who exactly commissioned and funded the research.

The study’s results were made public in 2035. It was widely believed at the time that the results that were made public were only a small fraction of the body of research undertaken.

In 2040, the first laboratory-engineered para-human, Xenophon, was first revealed.

Medical science was rocked to its core and great advancements in curing disease and vastly prolonging human life were predicted.

Para-Humans – that which humans had now become – had achieved near invincibility.​Yet humanity was gravely under-prepared for the state of emergency that existed around us, as climate change and rising ocean levels combined to make Earth an increasingly hostile environment, and we understood little about what the proposed “solution” of embracing para-humanity really entailed.​Our greatest scientific development of the C21st threatened to be our greatest disaster, precipitating a state of emergency no one had predicted: from even the greatest of horrors irony is seldom absent.

In 2093 society collapsed. It has not yet recovered.
